On Thursday, April 15, 7 to 9 p.m., the public is invited to a
presentation on the preferred land use concept for a portion of theBaileys Crossroads Community Business
Center (CBC).Based on public input,the concept will be presented
at the Goodwin House Auditorium, 3440 South Jefferson Street, Falls
Church. Parking is available in the visitors lot.

The concept is intended to stimulate revitalization of this area,
as well as take advantage of the proposed streetcar route to run
between the CBC and Pentagon City. It features more mixed-used
development; easier pedestrian, bicycle and transit rider access; and
increase green spaces. Future development also would be compatible
with the surrounding neighborhoods.

It is envisioned that the densest development will be focused in the
area near the future streetcar stop along South Jefferson Street on the
north side of Leesburg Pike. This urban-style downtown will
incorporate mixed-use buildings with ground-floor retail, a tree-lined
grid of streets and a new arts center. A greenway will connect the
north and south sides of Leesburg Pike.

The preferred concept is based on public input on two previous
conceptual options, incorporating desired elements from both. An
11-member Citizens’ Advisory Committee led the efforts to solicit public
feedback.

The land use concept specifically covers the area to the south and
east of the interchange of Leesburg Pike (Route 7) and Columbia Pike
(Route 244) in the Baileys Crossroads Community Business Center area.
